Mixer and LO
• The mixer produces – fSUM=fLO+fRF and fDIF=fLO-fIF
• The conventional AM radio uses the difference frequency
• The LO (Local Oscillator) tunes the radio so that the desired input frequency passes through the IF filters.

IF Amplifiers and Filters• The IF filters:
– The bandwidth is set wide enough to pass the transmitted signal– Provides adjacent channel rejection.
• If we are tuned to 1400 KHz, the Adjacent channels are at 1390 KHz and 1410 KHz
– This bandwidth determines the noise bandwidth of the receiver– The filter is optimized for IF frequency so all input signals pass
through the same filters. This simplifies filter and amplifier design
– The IF amplifier gain is variable to adjust for changes in the input signal power level. The received signal level may vary from < 1mV to over 1V (>60dB)
– Note that an FM radio uses a limiting IF amplifier not a variable gain amplifier. See FM notes

Envelope Detector
• The envelope detector recovers the original m(t) modulation and a DC voltage that is proportional to the received signal carrier amplitude Ac.
• The DC voltage is used to automatically adjust the gain of the IF amplifier in a control loop (AGC- automatic gain control). This maintains a constant recovered m(t) amplitude as the receiver input signal level changes, otherwise the volume would change as much as 60dB!
